Bring a large pot of water to a boil and then add the potatoes. Let cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Then add the corn and continue boiling for 3-5 minutes. After boiling, drain and place the potatoes and corn into a very large mixing bowl. You can leave the potatoes whole or slice them in half if you’d like!

into the same mixing bowl.

Combine the melted butter, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, Creole Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, and garlic and stir the mixture well to combine.
5

Pour half of the garlic butter sauce over the ingredients in the mixing bowl and use your hands (fitted with disposable gloves if desired) to gently toss everything together to combine. Make sure the food is nicely coated/saturated. Set the remaining half of the sauce aside for serving with the packs.
6

Tear off 5 sheets of aluminum foil (about 13 x 13-inch pieces). Then evenly divide the shrimp boil ingredients between the 5 sheets of foil. Fold the edges up around the food to enclose the packet. Then transfer the sealed foil packs to a large rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
7

[For the oven]: Preheat the oven to 425°F. When preheated, place the foil packets with the baking sheet (just in case there’s any leaking) into the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and just cooked through. [For the grill]: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. When preheated, place the foil packets onto the grill and cook for 13-15 minutes, until just cooked through.
